RCS Sound Software Announces Plan to Integrate with TagStation to Support NextRadio

White Plains, New York, September 8, 2014 -
RCS Software, the world's largest broadcast software company is pleased to announce an effort to integrate support for TagStation® into their automation systems, NexGen and Zetta. The integration of systems by RCS will enable NexGen and Zetta automation clients to seamlessly deliver music and on-air programming information, as well as enhanced spot and promotional information, to NextRadio®, without the need to purchase additional hardware or software.

NextRadio is a smartphone app that connects over-the-air FM broadcasts with the internet to give users an enhanced radio listening experience including album art and program information as well as station feedback and other interactive features with the touch of a button. TagStation is the cloud-based data service that allows radio stations to synchronize their broadcasts with images, interactive touch points, and other related data for display in the NextRadio app (NextRadioApp.com), HD Radio® Artist Experience (hdradio.com), and connected car dashboards currently in development.

Philippe Generali, President/CEO RCS commented, "We know the impact of NextRadio is going to be tremendous and TagStation is one more way to help radio remain the force it has always been. We are proud to be working with NextRadio and love the fact that our automation software will integrate with this powerful platform."
